OPERATION
LUBRICATION
This tool has been lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the
life of the unit under normal operating conditions. No further lubrication is necessary.
STARTING AND STOPPING THE MOTOR
Before starting the tool, clear the work area of all foreign objects.
Keep a firm grip on the tool to resist starting torque. Two switches (A and B) Fig.
11 turn this tool “ON” and “OFF”. The upper switch (A) will automatically turn
the tool “OFF” if the tool is placed upside down on a surface.
Turn the tool “ON” or “OFF” with lower switch (B), using the thumb of the left
hand while holding the tool.
To avoid injury and/or damage to finished work, always allow the
motor to come to a COMPLETE STOP before putting the tool down.
NOTE: For convenient debris collection, you can attach a shop vac to the
GripVac™ unit by placing the hose on the GripVac handle Fig. 19. See “ACCESSORIES”.
Fig. 19
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
This router is equipped with a variable speed control (A) Fig. 12 with an infinite number of speeds
between 10,000 and 23,000 RPM.
Adjust the speed by turning the speed control knob (A).
In low and medium speed operation, the speed control prevents the motor speed
from decreasing. If you expect to hear a speed change and continue to load the motor, you could
damage the motor by overheating. Reduce the depth of cut and/or slow the feed rate to prevent
tool damage.
USING THE TOOL
Always be sure the work is rigidly clamped or otherwise secured before making a cut.
Since the cutter rotates clockwise (when viewing router from top), move the router from left to
right as you stand facing the work. When working on the inside of a templet, move the router in
a clockwise direction. When working on the outside of a templet, move the router in a counterclockwise direction.
Avoid “Climb-Cutting” (cutting in direction opposite that shown in Fig. 13). “ClimbCutting” increases the chance for loss of control resulting in possible injury. When “Climb-Cutting”
is required (backing around a corner), exercise extreme caution to maintain control of router. Make
smaller cuts and remove minimal material with each pass.

INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL GRIPVAC™ (892)
1.
Use a 5/16" hex wrench to loosen the screw in the handle (A) Fig. 15. Remove the handle from
the router base. Store the handle and screw for possible later use.
2.
Remove the plastic plug from the dust port (B) Fig. 14.
3.
Remove the screws (B) Fig. 17 and remove the sub-base (A) Fig. 17.
4.
Align the holes of the GripVac™ handle to the holes of the router base.
5.
Insert a hex screw (G) Fig. 14 through the handle into the hole (K). From inside the base housing,
place a shoulder washer (H) Fig. 14 and a hex nut (J) on the screw. Tighten the nut loosely.
6.
From inside the base housing, insert the second screw (G) Fig. 14 into the hole (11) and screw it
into the threaded hole of the GripVac™ handle.
7.
Turn the router base upside down and place the dust deflector (E) Figs. 14 and 18 into the bottom
of the router base by aligning the three plastic tabs on the deflector with the three recesses in the
base. Align the extended part of the deflector with the GripVac™ handle. The deflector will be
flush with bottom of router base.
8.
Replace the sub-base and the three screws (Fig. 17).
9.
Tighten all hardware securely.
10. Connect any vacuum/dust collection system with a 1" hose to the Grip Vac™ handle (C) Fig. 19.
SOFT START
This router has a “Soft Start” feature designed to minimize startup reaction torque.
TEMPLATE GUIDES (not available for the Model 892)
A wide variety of template guides is available for use in pattern and templet routing operations.
Disconnect the tool from the power source.
To install, insert the templet guide in the center hole of the router base and secure it in place with
a locknut. Before connecting the router to the power source, install the bit, adjust the depth of
cut, and rotate the router chuck by hand to ensure that the bit or collet do not contact the templet
guide.
USING A ROUTER ACCESSORY TABLE
The router can be mounted to a router accessory table (not included). To open the clamp
for motor removal, use a hex wrench in the hole (C), Fig. 17. To adjust cutting depth, use a
hex wtrench in the hole (D) Fig. 17. For instructions on how to mount the router to the router
accessory table, refer to the accessory table instruction manual.
BRUSH INSPECTION (If applicable)
For your continued safety and electrical protection, brush inspection and replacement
on this tool should ONLY be performed by a Porter-Cable Factory Service Center or
a Porter-Cable Authorized Warranty Service Center.
